AI Summary

long article 4 min

Following the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti by federal immigration agents in Minneapolis on January 25, 2026, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz is demanding President Trump withdraw the agents from the state. Pretti's death, the second such incident in Minneapolis involving federal agents in less than three weeks, has sparked outrage and intensified protests against the immigration crackdown. The Trump administration claims Pretti intended to harm the agents, citing a pistol found on him, but video evidence appears to contradict this account. Walz questioned Trump's plan and the need for federal agents in Minnesota, while administration officials defended the shooting. The incident has fueled calls for an independent investigation and further inflamed tensions between state and federal authorities.
